It's a 10 year old engine made beautiful by a bunch of, literal, hacks into said engine. Of course it's not going to be optimized.

AXE COP posted:Just wanna post and say the only mod you will ever need is the MGE. Unlike Oblivion where I can install a thousand gameplay mods and never quite be satisfied, Morrowind is perfect from the get-go. Eh, I'd go so far to say Passive Healthy Wildlife is also necessary, but beyond that nothing else really comes to mind.

I used to know what caused this and how to fix it but it's been to long since I had to, any ideas? This happens with all the shaders off (and various ones on), just a wall of fog regardless of draw distance. Nevermind it's the 'above ground fog' setting, no idea why the quick start guide recommends .5 for that setting and then having a distant land setting of 12, defeats the purpose....

@Grandmasters of Hlaalu it's about on par for quality of the Uviriths Grave ones, but it has some bugs IIRC that are annoying (but don't break anything). Definitely worth it. Shame Redoran never got anything worth it. There's a couple out there for them but they're sub-par compared to the other faction ones. Here's a list of most of them http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Tes3Mod:Stronghold_Additions

Docetic Mountain posted:So I have some wonderful mods which alter the landscape of Ebonheart and Ald-Ruhn and now all MGSO grass in these areas are like 5 feet off the ground and blinding to walk through. Is there any fix/work around to make the grass conform to the new landscapes? You can, though I don't remember how.  think it involves a utility that generates animated grass, and excluding specific cells at some point so mods adding the same area don't compete and have the problem you're having. I've got a modded to hell copy of Morrowind but it's been "complete" for a couple years so I haven't actually done anything complicated in forever.I too have several expanded mods for Ebonheart and had to make them play nice.

Honestly the only people that should be using BTB are people like me who have been playing this game for over a decade. I love everything about Morrowind but after this many years I need some drastic gameplay changes to prevent me from abusing the heck out of the game and getting bored in 5 minutes.

Isn't GHD the one with the lovely transformations into corpus beasts etc. though? I remember it being really buggy and generally not that good.

Could be a memory issue, 2GB doesn't seem like a lot for Windows 8. At the very least I would try it with no mods except the MCP. Then maybe with one of the MGEs at default settings.

Death Zebra posted:I don't really like the Souls games but something like that would be better as it's more fluid and actually allows you dodge enemy attacks. Go ahead and add that in, we'll wait 😉 I agree with the above poster, the combat is fine and part of what is enjoyable about Morrowind. I mean I'm all for someone improving the game and if they overhaul it and it's good gently caress yea, but I'd rather they focus on improving backwards compatibility first (mwse, mge, etc) then start adding entirely new features in. I should poke around OpenMW I wonder how much of a mess (or not) the code base is.

Rhjamiz posted:Are MWSE and MGE even necessary in OpenMW? I thought the point was that OMW made them obsolete by allowing you to script or code all that directly? MGE and MGEx yes, MWSE and the other shittier script extender would need to be ported somehow to have backwards compatibility with a lot of mods. Ideally they would implement newer better mechanisms for new mods yes, but you'd still need to update older mods to work with the new features (unreasonable) or provide some sort of emulation of the old functionality to play a large number of mods.

Doc Hawkins posted:Improving combat is not a goal of the openmw project; enabling mods which make fundamental changes, like replacing combat systems, is. That is what I said I would also argue that's not entirely accurate. That's the goal for 1.0 and probably early updates, but the entire motivation for open sourcing the game in the first place is to eventually make adding sweeping engine and gameplay changes more feasible.

To me the skills and faction status have always been the real progression in Morrowind, the gear is just kind of like "how soon can I pay dress up Barby and get what I want". Re: combat I think that the stamina usage (or lack there of) is the biggest fundamental problem with all the TES games. It's the one thing that the souls games do right and contributes the most to the experience but it's often overlooked. Stamina is integral to the experience and determines the entire flow of the combat: when you have none you're a sitting duck, the combat is fast paced so it regenerates quickly, and the more powerful the weapon the more stamina you use. In all the TES games they're largely meaningless bars that regenerate slowly and mostly dictate how fast or slow you travel (ironically stamina in Morrowind plays the biggest factor in combat, more so than in the more action focused 4 and 5).

RBA Starblade posted:The Elder Scrolls is always going to have the problem of the lore being a million times more interesting than anything they can really do on a console. This has always and will always be my biggest beef with Bethesda games. Why does everyone have to have some terrible generic story and dialog that I can talk to and not care about. Go Witcher 3 so cities actually feel like cities.

Even all the random tiny towns in Witcher 3 feel more alive than the biggest cities in any of the Bethesda games (unmodded anyway, Morrowind does a decent job with mods). It's not even like you can visit every building either, most of the buildings are blocked off in fallout games, and there are plenty of blocked off ones in TES cities. Who cares if you can go into yet another house when they all look the same and the most valuable thing in there is a silver candelabra.

LeftistMuslimObama posted:But that's what a real city is like? Mostly uninteresting houses and businesses. Unless you are playing as a cat burglar in which case you want that candelabra dangit. You're taking my post to literally, we're saying the same thing. My comment was because some guy said that's what makes Bethesda games unique, which is both partially true and partially false, for the reasons I stated. Arguing that they're fine as-is because they've gone the lazy least effort way to implement everything, is silly. Like you said, they could very easily (existing engine limitations not withstanding) just generate most of a much larger city to be samey with some unique hand placed landmarks and it would be waaaay better. The Witcher proves that it is technically feasible as well as significantly more immersive.

Or reading between the lines, trying to add voice acting to everything lowered the overall quality across the board (except in voice acting... Obviously). You have less time to create cool stories, it's not as easy to branch them out, you have to have dedicated writers rather than giving creative liberty to guys creating the world and side quests, you can't have as many people in general because they all have to have unique dialog, the list goes on and on. I just hope they learn from Witcher 3 or hand it off to people who can (Obsidian).

Cat Mattress posted:MWSE exists and there are tons of mods that use it, so if OpenMW wants people who use these mods to make the move from vanilla to OpenMW, they'll have to support MWSE's scripting functions. Both arguments are accurate. You can probably just provide an interface for MWSE commands and under the hood handle it in a much more efficient way. Still not as good as writing an OpenMW native solution but better than Morrowind and backwards compatible.

As long as they have a generally predictable location archetypes to get them (e.g. Daedric Dungeons, house vaults, etc) I think it's an excellent idea.
